Jobbeschreibung

You want to help build Europe\'s resilience. You want to protect people and critical infrastructure - ultimately saving the lives of thousands. You want to work at the frontier of high-performance autonomous systems.

YOUR MISSION

Join us at CDDS to bring next-generation control, guidance, and state-estimation algorithms into high-speed kinetic interceptor drones.

We are looking for an all-around software developer to:

• build the base station that ties our interceptor fleet together — connecting to radar and external sensors to give operators a single live picture
• integrate our drones with third-party command and control systems, getting Lattice and NATO-compliant C2 to work seamlessly with our products
• develop fleet-management tooling to monitor, configure, and coordinate drones in the field

We move at a high pace and priorities shift quickly — you should be comfortable building in an environment where the problem can change underneath you.

Tasks

WHAT YOU MIGHT WORK ON

• Getting Lattice to work with our system, including plugins and Cursor-on-Target messaging
• Building and extending the base station to connect to our radar and other external sensors
• Integrating our products into third-party command and control systems through standard, NATO-compliant protocols
• Designing fleet-management and provisioning tooling for the interceptor fleet
• Writing high-quality, maintainable Python services and APIs for the ground segment
• Monitoring and tuning system performance

Requirements

REQUIRED

• MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with a strong academic record. ETH Zürich or an equivalent university is preferred.
• Strong Python programming skills
• At least 3 years of relevant professional experience
• Experience with Linux-based development environments
• Understanding of software security fundamentals

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience integrating with command and control (C2) systems
• Familiarity with open-source C2 platforms
• Knowledge of NATO interoperability standards (e.g. STANAG 4817 / AEP-105)
• Experience working with radar feeds or other external sensors
• Knowledge of networking protocols and secure communication
• Experience with bash CLI

Benefits

• Direct impact on a mission-critical technology shaping Europe\'s security landscape
• Fast-moving startup environment with high ownership
• Work with a highly technical, ambitious, and hands-on team
• Real-world testing, deployments, and customer demonstrations
• Attractive compensation
• Location: Hardbrucke (Zurich), on-site
• Start date: October, November
• Environment: Rapidly growing deep-tech startup, high-impact mission
